We do find that the popular flies at the fishery include Montana, Cats Whisker, Goldhead variants, Green Grizzly Beetle and the locally famous Coopers Yellow. Daddy Long Legs take fish throughout most of the season.

We have a well stocked fly box with a comprehensive selection. We also provide rod, net and tackle hire for £12.

Yes. You need a rod licence for all freshwater fishing in England and Wales – this is the law and it is policed by the Environment Agency. We do not inspect licences but an Inspector from the Environment Agency could turn up at any time and the fine for fishing without a licence is over £1,000 (you may also lose all your fishing tackle). Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Annual Rod Licences can be purchased from any Post Office. The local Post Office in Tenterden is at Gateway Library on the High Street. Rod licences are also available online.

Tea and Coffee are free in our comfortable Fishing Lodge. We do not provide food so please bring your own. Tenterden has numerous shops nearby where you can buy food for a picnic, or we have many fine local pubs.
